Instructions

STEP 1 Peel carrots and trim to fit the length of your hot dog buns. Bring a couple inches of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add carrots, cover and steam until barely cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

STEP 2 Meanwhile, whisk broth, vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), mustard, garlic powder and paprika in a sealable 1-gallon plastic bag. Add the carrots, seal and place the bag in the refrigerator keeping the carrots in a single layer. Marinate for at least 3 hours or up to 1 day, turning twice.

STEP 3 Preheat grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat.

STEP 4 Remove the carrots from the marinade. Grill the carrots, turning once or twice, until they're hot and have grill marks, about 5 minutes. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
